Album Notes & Community Reviews

Northern Irish DJ and producer David Holmes unleashes a breathtakingly cinematic, sprawlingly ambitious electronic debut with this provocatively titled album. Relying heavily on his vast knowledge of film scores, Holmes masterfully weaves tense, trip-hop-influenced breakbeats and sprawling Detroit techno rhythms into long-form, highly dramatic soundscapes. The record effectively laid the direct groundwork for his highly successful future career scoring major Hollywood films.
